Vanderpump Rules fans suspect Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ romance “is way deeper than we know” after noticing the duo have been rocking matching necklaces for months.

Shortly after news broke Friday that Sandoval’s longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, had left him after finding out about his “full-on affair” with Leviss, social media sleuths began to notice the lightning bolt pendants in several of the new twosome’s photos.

Sandoval, 39, continues to wear his almost daily, while Leviss, 28, switches hers out depending on her outfit.

She was even seen sporting the seemingly significant jewellery at BravoCon 2022 back in October, where Madix, 37, was also in attendance.

Leviss and Sandoval had allegedly been having an affair for “months".

An insider told us Sandoval and Leviss’ dalliance “began last summer” and that the former beauty queen “has slept over Tom and Ariana’s house when Ariana’s been out of town”.

Their co-star James Kennedy corroborated the information in an Instagram direct message sent to Deuxmoi, saying the affair began “7 months” ago, which would have been July 2022.

The 31-year-old DJ, who was previously engaged to Leviss, claimed the pair’s escapades at Sandoval and Madix’s shared Los Angeles home sometimes took place while “Ariana [was] sleeping”.

Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss have been wearing matching necklaces amid their affair on Ariana Madix.

We’re told Madix is “heartbroken” after learning that her boyfriend of almost 10 years and her close friend have been “communicating inappropriately for months” and that they now “want to be together”.

“Ariana was blindsided by the cheating,” our source explained, adding that Madix had “no idea there were any issues” in her relationship and feels “betrayed by her friend”.

We’re told she “found out” about the pair’s relationship Wednesday at Sandoval’s band’s show after a sexually explicit video of Leviss popped up on his phone.

We’re also told that the illicit couple had planned “for weeks” to confess their relationship to Madix before she found out on her own.

Madix has since deactivated her social media accounts, while Leviss has not spoken on the matter.

But Sandoval is speaking out. “Hey, I fully understand and deserve ur anger & disappointment towards me, but please leave [Tom] Schwartz my friends and family out of this situation …” he wrote on Instagram Saturday.

Sandoval, 39, clarified that co-star and business partner Schwartz, 40, only found out about the affair “very recently” and “did not condone it”.

He then seemingly addressed anger toward his and Schwartz’s new LA bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s, which fans called to “boycott” after news of the cheating scandal broke Friday.

“There are 3 other partners and 20 employees, who rely on the restaurant for income for them and their families,” Sandoval wrote. “Just like [first bar] TomTom, I’m a small part of a much bigger thing.

“Please direct ur anger towards me and not them. They did nothing wrong.”

Leviss was previously in a long-term relationship with James Kennedy.

The reality star told fans he will be “taking a step back” from the business “out of respect” from his colleagues and employees.

He concluded the note ominously without directly addressing his infidelity or break-up, writing, “I need some time to address everything else. Sorry for everything”

TMZ was the first to report that Sandoval and Madix, 37, had split after almost a decade together.

An insider also confirmed the news to us, saying, “It’s true that they split and cameras are rolling”.

“The majority of the cast is expected to gather and film tomorrow to share their reactions to Raquel and Sandoval’s affair. Mostly everyone is shook and completely heartbroken for Ariana,” the source continued.

Several castmates have spoken out about the infidelity, including Leviss’ ex-fiancee, Kennedy.

“Hope you all feel as sick as I do. This explains everything,” he said while sharing the news on his Instagram.

Lala Kent also chimed in, leaving a scathing comment under Kennedy’s post. “I’ve been telling y’all!” she wrote. “Everyone said I was a ‘bully’. It’s called YOU TRIGGER ME AND I SEE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE! I’ve known these two are disgusting from the jump.”

Kent, 32, also sent a message to Sandoval on her Instagram Stories, writing, “I’ve seen you for who you [are] for a long time, and you just don’t like that. But, I think now is the time for you to shut the f — up. I’m eating good the next time I see you.

“I suggest you get some energy for me. You’re gonna need it,” she then told Leviss.

While fans are eagerly awaiting to see how Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ affair bombshell will be addressed on the “Vanderpump Rules” Season 10 reunion, their boss, Lisa Vanderpump, is dreading filming it.

After news of the co-stars’ dalliance broke Friday, executive producer Andy Cohen tweeted to his followers, “How many parts is too many parts for the #pumprules reunion???”

Vanderpump – who has yet to address the details of the matter publicly – replied, “Ummm one … I’m not sure my heart is up to it,” to which Cohen quipped, “You have time to get a pacemaker because I NEED YOU.”
